It's another Fighting in The War Room Quarter Quell!
Instead of capping off the year with our annual Top Tens, we've pushed that episode back into January for film catch-up and instead delivered another Quarter Quell! This installment, each host brings a movie from FITWR's first year of podcasting, which went from being called an Kino Katey Audio Blog to Operation Kino before becoming Fighting In the War Room. Travel back to late 2010 through Summer 2011 as your hosts revisit 127 Hours, Limitless, Water for Elephants, and Super 8. Four movies not based on pre-existing IP…well, I guess 127 Hours was a book, but you'll get it.
For all the films EXCEPT 127 hours, the segment kicks off with a long-lost clip from the original podcast with horrible audio.

This week, on the final "normal" Fighting in the War Room of the year, we held the episode back until Spider-Man: No Way Home was in theaters so we could do a Segment 3 FULL OF SPOILERS as there's not a lot to talk about that wouldn't be considered a spoiler in this very large movie. But before that, Katey, Patches, Da7e, and David dive into Nightmare Alley, which is also out in theaters this week, and Katey uses the holiday podcast real estate to remind us Polar Express is still bad.

This week, the podcast has learned it is one of Time Magazine's Top Ten Podcasts of 2021 and is unsure why. Join Katey Rich, David Ehrlich, Matt Patches, and Da7e Gonzales as they take on Power of the Dog (now on Netflix!), talk about big performances that work based off Lady Gaga in House of Gucci, then dig into Speilberg's West Side Story.

This week, only the boys are in the War Room to discuss Tick Tick…Boom! on Netflix and both Da7e and Patches were former theater kids, so you can guess how that might go. Then, David (who was also into Rent, to be fair) downloads with Patches on King Richard (currently in theaters and on HBO Max) before all three dig into the first season of Netflix's Cowboy Bebop which was puzzlingly off.
